All those correction can be takien into account by ECU. Just like speed governor and other things. If OEM shows reliably 20 deg diff it's not rocket science to factor it in. Knowing what manufacturers tend to do for user "safety" I'm really likely to believe it's true that OEM shows too high readings to scare driver so that he doesn't damage engine even if he isn't really aware what temps are safe.
